National PTSD Awareness Day — Understanding, Healing, and Hope

June 27 marks National PTSD Awareness Day, a time to recognize the impact of

trauma and the importance of healing. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can

affect anyone — from veterans and first responders to survivors of violence, accidents,

or loss.

At Flourishing Minds Wellness Center, we know that trauma doesn’t define a person —

it’s part of their story, not the end of it.

️Recognizing the Signs

PTSD can look different for everyone. Some may experience flashbacks, anxiety, or

avoidance, while others struggle with sleep, concentration, or mood changes.

Recognizing these signs helps us approach others with empathy instead of judgment.

Our Trauma-Informed Approach

Our therapists and staff are trained to create safe spaces where clients feel seen and

supported. Through therapy, peer support, and wellness activities, we help individuals

rebuild trust, confidence, and stability.

Ways to Support

• Listen with compassion — without trying to “fix”

• Encourage professional help and community resources

• Practice grounding exercises and self-care

• Remind survivors that healing is possible

Every person deserves a chance to recover, reconnect, and flourish — and our

community plays a vital role in making that possible.
